Tightening of tattoo, piercing laws mooted
Original Source - Whyalla News
New state government laws propose to make tattooing and some piercings illegal for those under the age of 18.
And, tattooists who breach the new law could face a maximum penalty of $5000 or 12 months’ jail.
The state government is seeking comment on the draft Summary Offences (Tattooing, Body Piercing and Body Modification) Amendment Bill 2011.
The reforms include prohibiting minors from having branding, tongue, nipple, neck or other serious invasive piercing; and requiring parental or guardian consent for eyebrow, nose or naval piercing.
There’ll also be a ban on tattooing, piercing or otherwise modifying the body of intoxicated people and a greater onus on the operators to obtain and retain evidence of consent.

TATTOO enthusiast Adam Thomas is using one of his passions to create more positivity in the Lower Blue Mountains.
He is the driving force behind the Lower Blue Mountains Charity Tattoo Show at the Blaxland Tavern on Saturday.
Mr Thomas, of Glenbrook, said the event would raise money for Gateway Family Services at East Blaxland.
“Gateway Family Services help lots of people in the Blaxland area,” he said.
“I’m a single parent and they’ve helped me get back on my feet.”
Mr Thomas previously lived in Byron Bay and said organising the event was inspired by a charity tattoo show based there.
Tavern licensee Stephen Kiely said he agreed to host the show to put something back into the community.
“I was a youth worker before I got into this industry,” he said.
“I know how hard it is to get the proper support.”
The tavern will contribute 10 per cent of bar takings to the fundraiser. There will be local bands and tattoo judging.
Businesses supporting the show include Cheeky Azz tattoo shop at Blaxland, Protat and sponsor Carmart in Penrith.

IT'S COMMON SENSE
PROPOSALS restricting access to piercing and tattooing (The Advertiser, yesterday) apply a commonsense response to the permanent implications of such practices and the potential for lasting regret.

Confronting art turning heads
Origianl Source - Daily Mercury
SHE'S almost naked, wearing only a brassiere and a pair of briefs so it's little wonder she is turning heads at the Mackay City Library.
Library users can't help but stop and look at Johanna Reilly's creation – an impressive large drawing of a scantily-clad woman.
“Wow” and “how long has it taken” are among the comments passed as Ms Reilly sprawls out on the library floor and puts pencil to paper.
But the woman she has created will soon be wearing more than underwear. Soon she will don an array of tattoos, including Mexican cartel insignia, Polynesian facial tattoos and Chinese mafia tattoos.
